What is an MRAP?

MRAPs, or Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, are a family of armored fighting vehicles designed to withstand improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and ambushes. They are primarily used by military and law enforcement agencies for troop transport in conflict zones and high-risk areas. MRAPs feature V-shaped hulls to deflect blasts away from the vehicle, offering enhanced protection for occupants. Their robust design makes them essential for operations where the threat of mines or roadside bombs is significant.
